American Life by Madonna

Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star?
I tried to be a boy
I (1)__________ to be a girl
I tried to be a mess
I tried to be the best
I guess I did it wrong
That's why I wrote this song
This type of modern life
Is it for me?
This (2)________ of modern life
Is it for free?

So I went (3)________ a bar
Looking for sympathy
A little company
I (4)__________ to find a friend
It's more easily said
It's always (5)________ the same
This type of modern life
Is not for me
This type of modern life
Is not for free

American life
I live the American dream
You are the best thing I've seen
You are not just a dream

I tried to stay ahead
I tried to (6)________ on top
I tried to play the part
But some how I forgot
Just what I did it for
And why I wanted more
This type of modern life
Is it for me?
This type of modern life
Is it for free?

Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose (7)________ weight?
Am I gonna be a star?

American life
I live the American dream
You are the best thing I've seen
You are not (8)________ a dream

I tried to be a boy
Tried to be a girl
Tried to be a mess
Tried to be the best
Tried to (9)________ a friend
Tried to stay ahead
I tried to (10)________ on top
Fuck it

Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star?

Ahh, fuck it
Ahh, fuck it
Ahh, fuck it
Ahh, fuck it

I'm drinking a Soy latte
I get a double shoté
It goes right through my body
And you know I'm satisfied
I (11)__________ my Mini Cooper
And I'm (12)______________ super-dooper
Yo they tell I'm a trooper
And you (13)________ I'm satisfied
I do yoga and palates
And the room is full of hotties
So I'm checking out the bodies
And you know I'm satisfied
I'm (14)______________ on the isotopes
This metaphysic's (15)________ is dope
And if all (16)________ can give me hope
You know I'm satisfied
I got a lawyer and a manager
An agent and a chef
Three nannies, an assistant
And a driver and a jet
A trainer and a butler
And a bodyguard or five
A gardener and a stylist
Do you (17)__________ I'm satisfied?
I'd like to (18)______________ my (19)______________ point of view
I'm not Christian and I'm not a Jew
I'm just (20)____________ out the American dream
And I (21)________ realised (22)________ nothing
Is what it seems

Do I have to change my name?
Am I gonna be a star?
Do I have to (23)____________ my name?
Am I gonna be a star?
Do I have to change my name?
